THE election Of Roche in Chicago
by an approximate majority Of
thirty thousand is a figure and re-
suit that gladdens the hearts Of re-
publlcans, but more especially Is
something which the friends Of
good government, irrespective OF
party, hail with a most happy sat
isfaetion. The issue there, as pre-
eipitated by the disrupted demOe-
racy Of the Queen city, was plainly
one Of socialism and an srehism on
the one side and on the other Of all
people who abhOr and discounten-
anee rapine, murder and subversion
Of the well-regulsted laws Of the
land. tits not in any sense q protest
10 the Just rights Of any labOFing
man or woman, but mAnifestly and
forcibIy an absorbing desire that the
lives and property Of all the people
shall be protected in their entirety.
Those democrats who supported Mr..
Roche as q panacea, or a derner re-
sort TO the perplexing situation are
to be congratulated for the wisdom
Of their course, and II IL to be hoped
and believed that they viii discover
that they erred not in judgment, a.
il seems certain that Mr.. Roche,
who is a conservative and successful
business men, viii give to the city OF
Chicago a wise and prosperous ad-
ministration, one which will rebound
to the honor and credit Of the city
and be disclaimer TO its past turpi-
tude.

We are pleased to state that
through the influence and work Of
w. X. Gels and P. Q. Bond, with the
council OF Mr.. H. Hudson, Of Wiehi-
ta, an implement factory il under
way for Salina. Mr.. B. n. Hawes,
OF Youngstown, Ohio, paten-
tee Of the Well-known walking
and riding eultivatOrs-nOw manu-
faetured by the VIM. AnsOn Wood
manufacturing company, Of YOungs-
town, Ohio, and another firm at To-
ledO, In the same state-is anxious
to locate q general implement factO-
~ IN Salina. After considerable de-
liberation over the matter e was
decided 70 raise the money for this
purpose on the same plan as that
adopted by the Kansas Wesleyan
and the Episcopal school. For this
purpose Mr.. Gels secured an option
on the forty acres OF land recently
belonging 70 J. NJ. Ericsson
northeast Of Salina-together
with twenty-fOur acres adjoining,
belonging 70 GOOdhart SchippeI.
Mr.. Hawes desires the work
done at once. He asks that
this ground be laid out as a city ad-
dltiOn, and the amount Of 5000
raised upon It by the sale Of lOts-re-
serving ten acres for his shops, rail-
road switches, etc. He offers to rive
a good bond, and with a deposit OF
4l5,OOO In cash, that he will put up
3 building lOOx2OO feet, two stories
high, and employ l25 men-prOvided
the lots are sold az once at One-hali
cash, thus raising $4,000 immediate
ly. He does not ask any Of this
money until the foundations arc fin
ished. This matter will not be a do
nation as the lots will be salable to
factory hands and others. II is very
important, however, that the citi-
zens should take hold Of this matte T
with a vim, and secure an establish
msnt which Will increase the mate
rial wealth and prosperity Of the
city. Mr.. Halves represents $4,000
which will be put into the business.
Messrs. Gels and Bond will make 3
canvas for the sale Of the lots, and
we hope citizens will respond read
lily and willingly. The location Is
very desirable, as it will be between
and very near the Missouri Pacific
and Union Pacific railroads, which
which will make it convenient fol
shipping, and make a good appear-
ance to incoming trains.

THE Junction City Union glOOmi-
~ refers TO the fate Of cities in
counties that vote bonds; how in
time the owls and bats and other
symbols Of ruin sport around, and
people go about rOund-shOuldered
from the effects Of burdensOme debt.
We have noticed thatwhere you find
a sleepy ,run-down-at-the-heel grass
growing-in-the-street town, it isa
place where people are opposed to
voting railroad bonds. Il Is a sure
sign OF il. Such a people venture
nothing and get nothing. BOads
build all about them, and these
slow towns go plodding along as il
they and the people In them belong
ed 20 some half-forgotten era before
railroads or steamboats, and tele-
graph were known. The slow, lun-
bering coach - bringing the mail
once or twice a week. will do for
such places. We are rather Of the
impression that some OF the leading !
men OF Junction City would rather /
have a good, Old-fashioned game Of
seven-up and two or three sehoon-
ers Of beer at hand, than be worried |
about railroads. We do not say this
is sO-Only il Is our impression.

THE Crosby yhigh-license bill passed
by the New York Legislature is the
best practical temperance measure
ever adopted in that state, and its ef-
feet, everybody comedies, would be
to largely reduce the number Of
saloons in New York City and Brook
lyn. This bill was voted for by all
but two Of the republican members
Of the legislature, and is now in the
hands Of Governor Hill. AS 1t is to
be presumed that he will veto the
measure-and II he does not It will
indeed be a surprise-it is timely to

KANSAS NJ LONGER A NEW STATE.
Kansas IL no longer a new state.
In age Of settlement Il may be new.
In everything else it is not. The
New Englander may come among US
with the imPreeEicn that Kansas is
. barren plain, roamed by Indians,
.3allaio and wolves; but a few hours
reaideRee convinces him that we
have fine schools and churches, ruii-
roads like network laid all over the
state, manufactures by the scores,
people Of the best intelligence and
culture, farms in a high state Of cul-
tivatiOn, with noble farm houses and
barns, pleasant, hOmelike cottages,
and stately, palatial ssresideuces-all
ia abundance and much like New
England, after al. He goes home 20
ten his people uf the grand empire
that exists way out In that supposed
wilderness they have all talked
about, packs up his goods and starts
for Kansas with his wife and family,
and the wife's relations and his rela-
tions, 90 take up their abOdes in a
land that beats New England to
death. Eastern people are gradually
learning that this Is no longer n land
Of harbarism and a wilderness. They
even begin to look upon Kansas as
an old state, blessed with all the ad-
vantages OF the highest civilization.
They now have no hesitation I'm send
ing out their capital for investment
In our realty, where a few years ago
they would not invest a dollar. They
have faith in our soil, our resources,
and our people. Kansas Is taking
upon herself the substantialness Of
the oldest, wealthiest and most pop
ulous portions Of the country, and
she may now be regarded as fully up
with the best Of the western states.
No, Kansas j. no longer q new state,
and the country at large begins to
recognize il.
